Why doesn’t the Rainbow Mosque suggest that muzzies give up the 5x/day prayer thing?

“I didn’t bother to read it. I assume it’s one of those PC all-cultures-are-equal(ly-bad) screeds.”

The gist: Since all the facts don’t help push the narrative, it’s time we stop looking at these obvious facts.

You’re welcome.

Pretty close. It's one of those "we're all Americans so we're all guilty" bits of moral equivocation. A small child could tell the author that no, the people who did the shooting are guilty and the people who died are not, and that there's a difference.

The devout muslim shooters went to a work meeting/CHRISTMAS Party. He was agitated at the party. He left and he and his devout muslim wife put on armour and got their weapons. They had a pipe bomb. The shooting was on the anniversary of a muslim recognition of the martyrdom of Mohammed’s godson. just like other incidents have come on their holidays.

Gun control will not stop this if some evil religious fanatic wants to shoot a place up. The president insists on letting more immigrants from islamic hellholes (somalia, yemen, syria) in the country and then gets upset about our guns when an islamic terrorist commits a horrible act. It’s time for blowback on Obama’s indifference to our security and not restraining innocent citizens from gun possession.

Being an American citizen loyal to the Constitution is mutually exclusive to choosing to be a believer/follower of satan’s death cult known as islam.

I have never understood why we post from Salon here at FR.

I agree. But it helps us normal and rational people understand who our enemies are. And what they think.

I love Free Republic. But if all we did was post sane conservative articles that we agreed with - we’d just be some Mutual Admiration Society.

I hate looking at filth and garbage. But it does exist and we must acknowledge it. As we scorn and pick it apart.

Steven needs to read Ayaan Hirsi Ali, then get back to us. If anybody knows Islam vs Everyone else, it is she. She has lived it.

There are many mohammedans where I live in western Washington and I’ve worked or interacted with more than a few of them. Virtually to a man they act like they are bipolar. In most things they are passive and polite. But just say the word “Jew” and you see the fire in their eyes glow hot as a spark. The terms “hair-trigger” and “short fuse” (with all that implies) come to mind. They have an ancestral hatred of Jews and it is drilled into them at an early age.

I’ve witnessed that short fuse ignition many times. I’ve triggered it in them several times myself. I guarantee that I could trigger this guy Salaita. No matter how reasonable and prosaic they appear - you trigger them and they become shrieking, snarling hyenas. When they go to their unhinged place there is no reasoning with them. It’s either get away from them or insist they get away from you. I’ve stood them down more than once and they always back down. I never turn my back on them, no matter how polite or cordial they appear.

But more often I make sure that I am not put in a position where I am at their “mercy”. As they say, “discretion is the better part of valor”. I choose not to be around them as much as humanly possible because I am keenly aware of what they can do - and their inclination to do it. When circumstances require me to be around them I try to control the environment as much as possible. And I’m always armed.

This klown insists that we afford him equal standing. If he is a citizen then he is a citizen. But he will NEVER be an American.

I think you've been hoodwinked by politicians and luminaries into hating Arabs and Muslims. This hatred is bad for Arabs and Muslims, of course, but it also does you little good. It might make you feel better about your place in the American racial hierarchy. It might alleviate your majoritarian anxieties. It might reaffirm the superiority of your faith. It might make patriotism easier to accept.

Ah, but there HAVE BEEN now 25,000+ Muslim crimes of violence and terrorism. Since 2001.

And I have heard of no such "weekly" threats to blacks, orientals, and Jews - Oh wait!

But his loving Muslims DO issue thousands of threats every week against the Jews. And the Christians.

If he is a Moslem, then it is haram for him to consider himself American. Islam cannot be modified.

When her husband was served with legal separation papers, he was reached at an address in Karachi, Pakistan.

Ah yes, it had to be in there somewhere. More sweetness and light from the absolute worst nation in the world. Nothing good comes from Pakistan.

“......Islamists make appeals to diversity and tolerance, adopting soft-focus language to disarm Americans emotionally, at least those who want to believe. They seek to suspend all critical thought about Islam, using free speech, so-called, to win the culture wars, with grave implications for national security. The American devotion to religious pluralism gives them a political wedge.

I have been tracking this cultural assault in U.S. elementary and high school textbooks for a decade or more. I remain puzzled and shocked that progressive Americans ardently fail to acknowledge Islam for what it is and what it seeks.

Keep in mind. Many Islamists reject freedom of speech and religion, thinking of non-Muslims as infidels without human rights. They openly subjugate women, excluding them from governance, worship or thought. They think homosexuals should perish. They by and large approve of terror and believe that apostates deserve to die.

Perhaps Islam is the religion of peace, and Ben Affleck and Gen. Casey will certainly assure us of that. Unfortunately, many dolts will listen to them.

But peace means submission to Islamic rule and Islamic law. The absence of sharia law is the absence of peace. With God on its side, Islam wages eternal global war against territories under non-Islamic rule. Until they cease to exist or submit to forces loyal to Allah and his Prophet, the holy struggle will endure. And so will the lethal, ghastly incidents being splashed across the news.”
